^Depopulated."

The program as down on the bills announcing the Republican speaking Saturday night was carried out in just the manner that most people suspected it would be. Although Terre Haute is the largest and most important city in the district, polling five or six times as large a vote as most of the county seats in the district, and being the largest commercial and manufacturing point in the district many times tver, Hon. Jas. T. Johnston was not permitted by his managers and trainers to address a political meeting in Terre Haute alone, nor was he permitted to speak first and make the important speech of the meeting Saturday night, as people would naturally expect him to, uor was he permitted to speak an hour to the audience, for hfs speech, by the watch, occu-

Selivery.

ied exactly thirty-five minutes in its On the contrary, and a person does not need to be a soothsayer to divine the true meaning of

THIS REMARKABLE ARRANGEMENT,

Col. R. S. Robertson, the Republican candidate for Lieutenant-Governor, was brought here especially so that the pro. gram, as thus settled upon, could be carried out. The impatient persons in the crowd were innocent victims of this arrangment. Col. Robertson spoke until 9:15 p. M. and then the Republican candidate for Congress in this district began his speech. Mr. Johnston has spoken alone at Rockville, at Newport, at Brazil, at Crawfordsville (although he did not speak at Crawfordsville at all two years ago) and at all the county seats in the district, but when it comes to holding his meeting here in the city of Terre Haute he is tacked on to the end of the speaking like an afterpiece at a minstrel show.

THE SIGNIFICANCE ,v

of this move cannot be underestimated, and the public will not be slow to comprehend its true meaning. Mr. Johnston has spoken by the yard and by the hour at country cross-roads meetings, but in this oity of 32,000 inhabitants—where people are as keenly alive to a discussion of public issues as they are anywhere else,if not more so—Mr. Johnston's time was limited to thirty-five minutes. And this arrangement was not accidental, either. It was a deliberate deoision on the part of Mr. Johnston's trainers. The managers of Mr. Johnston's wonderful campaign did not desire, apparently, for that is the secret of it, that the citizens of Terre Haute should have a full opportunity of passing their opinion on that gentleman as a creditable representative for the Eighth Congressional district.

tekr^ haute weekly gazette.

THE MEETING

was a large and an enthusiastic one. It was not "a miserable failure" and the crowd was not a "small one." Many strangers were in the city from this and other counties, particularly Parke county, from which place some speoial coaches were run, carrying three or four hundred people. The Rockville correspondent of the Express—the brilliant young man who gave the chicken story to the world and who has not yet come forward with his promised affidavits— said in his notes in yesterday's Express: "This town was almost depopulated Saturday evening, the people all going to Terre Haate by special train to hear the speech of the Hon. James T. Johnston."

The gentleman who was most prominent in getting up this excursion to Terre Haute, "almost depopulating Rockfille," as the young man of the ohioken story says, was Mr. Samuel McCune, of Rockville. Mr. MoCune is the cashier and one of the principal stockholders of the

ROCKVILLE NATIONAL BANK

Mr. Johnston has much to say de nunciation of the National Banks when he addresses laboring men and farmers, yet there is not a person or a corporation in the district that is working hard er to return Mr. Johnston to Congress than the Rookville National Bank. The hall was well crowded before the speakers arrived and they were enthusiastically received by the audience, who cheered Mr. Johnston loudly. There were a number of ladies in the audience. Ex-Mayor W. H. Armstrong presided and in a neat speech introduced Col. Robertson, the candidate for Lieutenant Governor. He is a tall, spare man, with dark features, and of an exceptionally handsome appearance, but the way he did sail into the Democratic party was a caution. He began to speak at teu minutes of 8 o'clock and he ended at fifteen minutes after 9 o'clock. The Express has omitted Col. Robertson's speech altogether, only devoting nine lines to his reception by the audience and to his speech, and has not printed all of what Mr. Johnston said, selecting only those portions of thelatter's speech as it probably thought would look well in print. Col. Robertson's speech consisted principally of a

BITTER AND SCATHING ARRAIGNMENT

of the Democratic party in general and President Cleveland and his Cabinet in particular. He said, in beginning: "If

*j K* t£. 'is

anybody thinks the Republican party is dead or even sleeping he need not think so after tonight We meet here, however, under queer circumstances for Republicans. For the first time within the memory of many Republicans the Republican party is found out of power." He said that free thought, free Bpeeoh, a free ballot and a fair count were principles that actuated Republicans. He said that both Senator Voorhees and Governor Grav were unfair in their •key notes." Mr. Voorhees had said that ro thievery has be&n discovered as- yet in the new Democratic administration. The speaker, in discussing the land grant question, declared that there was nothing in these grants of lands to railroads that any American citizen had to be ashamed of, though he was not there to defend any grant that had uot been honestly earned. The first land grant in the history of the country had been during a Democratic administration. The speaker said he was not there to apologize for any of these land grants. They needed no apology. They were only proofs of the wisdom of the Republican party. The people had hearp much of the cry "Turn the rascals out.'' He would say that it womld seem that the Democratic party had turned a set of rascals in. There are no rascals in our party, says Voorhees. The speaker asked for any person to point out to him in the whole twenty-five years of

REPUBLICAN SUPREMACY

where a man who had a bad reoord had been given a public position. The words of Grant, "Let no guilty man escape" had been oarriel out literally by the Republican party. But the Democratic party seems to have gathered up all the thieves in the country and put them in office. The appointment clerk in the Treasury Department at Washington is a gambler and ballot-box stufEer of Baltimore. One of his friends —another gambler—was appointed a postoffice inspector. Another man who was appointed a pension agent was discovered to have served a term in the penitentiary for horse stealing. Down here at Bridgeport in this state they appointed a postmaster who had been in jail for some violation of the criminal laws. In Indianapolis they appointed a bribe-taker and a mau who had been in the penitentiary and jail twelve times. Now, when a Democrat applies for a place under this administration he has to bring a certificate that he has never been in the penitentiary. [Laughter.] Col. Robertson defended tne "Credit Mobieler" scandal and said such eminent Democratic authorities as S. J. Tilden and Jere Black had declared there was nothing in it. He said purer man than Schuyler Colfax ever lived, but the taint of suspicion on him was enough to relegate him to the rear. He said that no scandal during Republican supremacy was equal to the panelectric scandal of the present Democratic administration. It was even worse than the good old Democratic days whe*

DEMOCRATIC RASCALITY

was rampant when millions of dollars were stolen. Theire was no such dis graceful record as has been presented the last eighteen months. "I charge," said Col. Robertson, "that the Demo' cratic party doesn't rise to the ordinary sentiment of American loyalty and man. hood. I belidve that this Democratic administration is doing more to put a stigma on patriotism and loyalty than to baild it up. [Applause.] Col. Robertson said that the traitorous Democratic element of the south was in the saddle and that it has secured the most important positions under Mr. Cleveland. Confederate brigadiers were representing this country abroad men who sought to destroy it. Mr Garland represented the idea of secession in the Department of Justice. Mr. Lamar, who had gone so far as to again hope that the Lost Cause would still triumph, was at the head of the great Interior Department. Mr. Bayard, a Secessionist today, was at the head of the State Department. They sent Kieley to Austria after he declared that the suppression of the rebellion was "a bloody .usurpation of natural rights."-Austria refused to have him and so they sent him to Egypt. To Russia they sent Lothrop, a man who bad refused to become a citizen of the United States after he had tried to destroy this government. And yet the Republicans were so magnanimous that they declined to execute

THESE TRAITORS

and yet Mr. Lothrop declined to ask for amnesty. When was such a spectacle seen as during the first few months of this Democratic administration, when the dead, rotton corpse of Jefferson Davis was resurrected and went on a tnumphial journey through the soutb, singing hymns of praise to the Lost Cause at every step. And the most shameful part of the whole proceedings was the compulsory attendance of colored sohool children at his meeting strewing flowers in his path. Yet the idea Jeff Davis represented was that the fathers and mothers of these colored children should be kept in slavery. That compulsory attendance of these poor colored children was a disgrace and a dishonor to the American flag. The Democratic party stood in the way of the Republican party for twenty-five years and objected to everything they did, except, occasionally, to claim as their own something the Republican party had done. Speaking on the tariff question, he said the Democratic party did not know how it stood on that question, but if anything it was a free trade party. The threat of the Democratic party to undo the tariff legislation of the Republican party had

PLUNGED THE COUNTRY

into its present industrial panic. It had reduced the price of labor and the price of wheatWheu did we see such industrial dis turbanoes as at the present time when have we seen men parading the streets declaring they wanted bread or blood. Col. Robertson denied that the Democratic party represented the laboring element. "I understand," said CoL Robertson, "that one of the Democratic mem-

b0™ I^tfWataKi from this conn* Carter had not mentioned the fact in ty (Mr. Debs) made a speech in this hall I any of his speeches. No man then in which he pledged his reputation that the state treasury under its present Democratic management was all right." Col.- Robertson then went on in an extended argument to show that the state treasury wasn't all right He said the people might thank God if they got the empty vaults back in their possession. He referred to the gerrymander of the state as "infamous" and defended the gerrymander made by the Republicans in 1873. He charged that "starvation and debanohery" stalked through the benevolent institutions in the state under the present Democratic oontroL He said the Republican party was the soldiers' party. Col. Robertson referred to the fact that he bad seen in the Terre Haute Labor Lanoe for that day an article copied from the Washington National—Tribune

INDORSING MB. LAMB'S CANDIDACY in this district as a firm friend of the soldiers, and he said the National—Tribune did not honestly represent the soldiers. [This will be a surprise to the 150, 000 soldier readers of the National Tribune, who know that it is the official soldier paper of the country. This attempt to deoeive the publio in regard to the indorsement by this soldiers' paper of Mr. Lamb will not deceive anyone, for the soldiers know the National— Tribune too well.—Ed. GAZETTE.] Col. Robertson said Mr. Lamb represented the Democratic party and that party never had been the friend of the soldier.

Col. Robertson closed by saying that the Republican party was now in a fight for the" "M

CONTROL OF CONGRESS

as it was the first step toward restoring the Republican party to power in 1888 in control of the general government Therefore he recommended all to vote for Mr. Johnston. This closed his speech, and when he sat down Mr. Armstrong presented him with a handsome boauet. Now it was Johnston's turn. The time had come when it was necessary for him, as a candidate for Con-

fressing

ress, to go through the form of ada Terre Haute audience. It was 9:15 p. M. The audience had already listened to the address of Col. Robertson, and it was now time really for the audience to disperse for their homes. It was a quarter of an hour past the time when political meetings generally disperse, and yet the Republican candidate for Congress had not yet addressed his meeting, the only meeting held for him in the

BIG CITY OF TERRE FI^UTE!,

the county seat of the populous county of Vigo, during this campaign. Was ever anything like it seen before? Mr. Johnston, when he was introduced by Mr. Armstrong, was received with loud applause. Mr. Johnston began: "If you knew how modest I was you would cease your demonstrations. If I said I were proud of this reception you have given me I would only be telling the truth. I am just incapable of really telling you what my feelings are. I thank you for your past efforts for me and hope you will stand by me next Tuesday week. It is now getting late in the evening and I cannot speak but for a short time. I will, however, devote a short time to my opponent Mr. Lamb and I am not going to abuse him either. He has said that this is a campaign of slander and has gone at once to abusing me. I have nothing to say in the way of abusing him, for God knows the poor fellow has enough to do in his own party for that But Lamb promised the laboring pien two years ago that if the

REPUBLICAN PARTY

cot in power everything would be pleasant and everybody would be happy. [There was a look of astonishment at Johnston when he said this, but Jim soon explained.] I meant the Democratic party. [Then some relief was felt.] Everybody knows that wages are lower and times are harder than they have been for many years. They wanted a chancre and they got it. Even some of my Democratic friends are kind of sorry now that this change was made. Col. Robertson has said that the reason of the hard times was attributable to the Democratic party's policy on the tariff question. I will go a step further. I will say that it is because the financial affairs of this government since 1885 have been administered in the interests of

EASTERN BONDHOLDERS

and not in the interests of the laboring men of the west Cleveland appointed to three of his most important offices three New York bondholders. They have refused to pay the money on the debt until now there is $513,000,000 in the treasury. The President believes with Hewitt that all the financial brains of the country is centered in New York. When I heard Hewitt make that remark 1 wondered what had become of Dan Voorhees and John Lamb. [Laughter.] I am in favor of paying out the surplus on the national debt in silver. Mr. Lamb has denounced me because I voted against the Morrison tariff bill. I did vote against it Mr. Lamb said at Yountsville when talking to the farmers that he was in favor of taking the tariff off of iron, coal and sugar. He says he is in favor of protecting American labor. He arraigns me for my protectionist ideas. I will say that I'm in favor of the men who

PUDDLE IRON

in the blast furnaces." Mr. Johnston went on to say that Mr. Lamb was trying to make all he could out of his Chinese speech in the Forty-eighth Congress. Mr. Johnston said he never would vote for a tariff to reduce the wages of the laboring man below what it is now. He would not make demagogical speeches and deceive the people. He didn't know what Lamb would do if it wasn't for the joint debate and the chicken story. He asked if anybody thought he was afraid of Lamb because he refused to meet him in joint debate. In 1868 D. W. Voorhees had refused a challenge to a joint debate from W. W. Carter and

thought it necessary to call Voorhees a liar and a coward.

Mr. Johnston denounces the national banks in the most classio language and tries to make people believe that 'he is mortally opposed to them. He does this to oatoh the Greenback vote, just as he told Mr. Ballard on the 21st of last month at Rockville that was just as good a Prohibitionist as he was in order to get in solid with the cold water men The GAZETTE said nothing about Mr. McCune "attending the meeting" and such words cannot be found in the report. The Express tries to avoid the question. The GAZETTE said that Mr. Samuel McCune, cashier and one of the principal stockholders of the Rockville National Bank, was instrumental in getting up the big excursion that came down from Rockville on the night of the Johnston meeting last Saturday night Mr. McCune is doing all he can to return Mr. Johnston to Congress. So is the Rockville National Bank, which Mr. McCune represents. Mr. MoCune muBt know Mr. Johnston very well. He lives in the same town with him and he knows him better than the farmers and laboring men to whom Mr. Johnston says that he is so opposed to the national banks. If Mr. Johnston was really opposed to the national banks, does any sane man suppose that McCune and the Rockville National Bank would be working as hard for Johnston as they are? No laboring man or farmer can be deceived by such a trick as this. The Rockville National Bank knows its man well. It is a good thing that this excursion did come down from Rockville for it served to snow to the Greenbackers of the district just where the Rockville National Bank stands in this canvass and how anxious it is to see Johnston elected.

Sy THE NATIONAITTRIBUNE.

Here is Something to Feast Your Eyes Upon. The Express this morning editorially attacks the Washington National-Tri-bune as follows:

The GAZETTE prints witfr £reat flourish an endorsement of John E. I jamb by the National Tribune, of Washington. The GAZETTE says the Tribune "is the organ of the soldiers of the countrywhich is about as near correct as the Tribune's statement that Lamb is "a firm friend of the soldiers.

The richness in the above will be seen when it is known that James T, Johnston got his picture published in the National Tribune a few months ago. He regarded it as the soldiers organ then. Since then, although the National Tribune is a non-partisan paper, it has openly come out and advocated the election of Hon. John E. Lamb in this district, styling him "the firm friend of the soldiers." Now Jim and the Express—what a loving pair they are, to be sure—cease to regard the National Tribune with loving eyes.

What a fix Mr. Johnston's 'campaign is getting in surely? How ungrateful it is for Jim to now turn his back on the paper in which he got his picture inserted only a month or so ago? Isn't this carrying things too far? 1 1

I did

introduce a bill and now let's see what it is. If a bill that gives every soldier who was out in the service sixty days a vtff pension of $8 per month. That bill^. "r doesn't lesson the pension of any man.*p' It elevates all to $3 per month. I in favor ofputting the private

[Yet at the last session of Congress Mr. Johnston!' voted for pension bills giving officers" and their wivees $2,000 per year—Ed^ GAZETTE.] didn'tf believe in anjt class legislation on this question. He didn't believe the man who wore the houlaer straps was any better than the private soldier. He said, pay out the surplus for pensions—to these boys that saved the government Mr. Johnstoik here read.some questions propounded! to him which he said were handed to him as he came in the hall. The questions were signed by John Foley, Geo. Elder, John Omkart and Charley Gilmore. They wanted to know a* goodl many things. One of them was whether Johnston missed 89 roll calls, another was whether he missed the roll oall on the final passage of the bill to restrict the ownership of real estate in the territories to American citizens, another asked if he missed the roll call onthe^conference committee's report on the joint resolution about the surplus, and another asked him what he was in favor of doing about the public debt In answer, Mr. Johnston denied that he missed 89 roll calls, admitted that he failed to vote on the second question but claimed he was paired, admitted? that he missed the '-'J, BOLL CALL on the third question and owned up that when the question was up he was coming home here for electioneering purposes snd on the fourth he said he was in favor of paying the debt promptly. In closing his short speeoh he said he admitted that he had no education, that he couldn't properly speak the English language, that he couldn't spell, that he was no blue-eyed boy
